Description

The Crucible, taking place as part of the b-side festival, will bring together creative practitioners for a day of art, food and conversation.

Starting with a bus tour of some of the highlights of this years b-side Festival on Portland we will explore the island, meeting some of the participating artists and curators. A packed lunch will be provided during the tour and we will then spend the afternoon at The Drill Hall, the venue for OSR Projects Weather Station exhibition.

The aim of the afternoon session is to provide a forum for creative practitioners at all stages of their careers to share knowledge and experience and learn about each other’s practice and projects. Small group conversations will be guided by a number of experienced practitoners from arts organisations around the South West (and beyond):

Sarah & Mark Harris - SIX project space

Something from nothing - How do we develop high quality creative projects with little or no funding?

Tim Martin – Hestercombe Gallery

Shifting the balance - How can artists and guest curators shape the galleries and arts organisations they work with?

Vickie Fear – Plymouth Arts Centre

Lines of communication -How do we build dynamic and sustainable creative networks?

The long view, how do we successfully develop long-term durational projects?

Andy Webster

What happens next - How can artists/curators shape the future of art education?

There will be an optional meal and drinks in the evening where conversations and friendships can be further cultivated over food, and a chance to see 'Chorus' by artist Ray Lee - an uplifting and mesmerising installation made up of giant kinetic sculptures that emit hypnotic sounds co-presented by b-side festival and Inside Out , Dorset.

The Crucible has been organised by OSR Projects and SIX in partnership with b-side festival
